Abstract
Widespread adoption of barbed suture usage in aesthetic procedures has been noticeable in the recent years. The use of barbed sutures in breast lift procedures during augmentation mastopexy is not new but needs more support in the literature. In this case series, we describe 15 surgeries of such with minimal complication rates and high satisfaction rates among surgeons and patients; this supports the usage of such an adjunct in augmentation mastopexy and endorses their safety
